Minnesota denies the vote to about 60,000 Minnesotans on probation, supervised release (parole), or incarcerated for a felony. Many live in the community, hold jobs and pay taxes. At unit meetings hear about who these people are and who, including LWV, is working to change this law.
Where does Minnesota fall compared to other states in allowing felons to vote?
